"Let the lover be disgraceful, crazy,
absent-minded. Someone sober
will worry about things going badly.
Let the lover be." — Rumi
The moon was my nanny,
she had storms in her eyes.
She sang me lullabies
in the key of sea,
you know the scales:
Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, Sea?
See?
We all have scales
because we are all born singing,
swimming through oceans of life,
rivers of current events,
and streams of consciousness.
O — this is proof
that Atlantis is our true home.
Hear the whales of our cries
as the sirens rush to our rescue,
hoping to salvage something worth saving.
O — let love reign down
upon the clouds of our judgment
and fill the land
where sound waves greet us 'hello'
and 'farewell.'
Let's execute the story:
to start; to end
— it all depends on your feelings.
Don't let the worry
of things going bad get in the way
of having a good time.
Love is reckless;
Love is bold;
Love is defiant;
Love is something to behold
and to be held,
never to be let go.
Let humiliation flow through you,
let it blossom into humility,
so you may grow
with all the experiences
of humanity.
